AQUARIUS 
KING’S RANSOM 

Aquarius 
Grandiflora. (Armstrong.) Plant Pat. 3128. Especially at- 
* tractive buds of deep reddish pink, almost every one perfect. 
Flowers are not extra large but are of exhibition quality, thanks to 
their good form and substance. They are a vibrant pink blend, 
lighter pink than the buds, pleasingly brushed with deep pink at 
the petal edges, to give a picotee effect. They come one to a stem 
and also in long-stemmed clusters. Mild perfume. 
Tall, vigorous, free blooming, with heavy, semi-glossy foliage, 
Aquarius likes cool weather. The overall picture is of a somewhat 
formal flower, well proportioned and long lasting. 
$4.50 ea.—3 or more, $4.15 ea. 
Tiffany 
Hybrid Tea. (Lindquist.) Plant Pat. 1304. Its very name sug- 
gests elegance, and this is the impression you get of Tiffany. Its 
long, exquisitely modeled buds and beautifully high-pointed flow- 
ers are always clear and fresh looking, always poised and inviting 
you to cut them. 
This is a bright but gentle blending of light pink and pale gold. 
Flowers are about 5 inches across, nicely full, borne on stiff stems. 
A true classic, admired the world over. Tiffany always claims full 
attention, for besides its attractive color it has tea rose fragrance 
that literally fills a room. . . in fact, the Gamble Rose Fragrance 
Medal is its reward. Its ability to hold its shape and delicate color 
is appreciated both in the garden and when it is used in arrange- 
ments. The plant is medium tall, upright in habit and very free 
blooming, with plentiful light green foliage. Both the experts and 
backyard dirt gardeners give their vote to Tiffany. 
$3.50 ea.—3 or more, $3.20 ea.

King’s Ransom 
> Hybrid Tea. (Morey.) Plant Pat. 2103. Splendid, gleaming 
golden yellow blooms ... big and lively. The tightly 
curled, medium long buds develop into 5-inch, fully double, golden 
flowers of excellent form, with full but open centers to display the 
rose-red stamens. Ideal for cutting, with a nice lingering perfume. 
The plant is moderately tall, with heavy canes. 
King’s Ransom is highly recommended for every garden. Bloom 
production is best in spring and fall. The bright flowers decorate 
the bush in fine style and open well even in unfavorable weather. 
$3.75 ea.—3 or more, $3.40 ea. 
Christian Dior 
Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) Plant Pat. 1943. A 
> flower of top exhibition quality, long lasting and with high 
style to match its name. The color is handsome crimson-red, over- 
laid with an iridescent scarlet sheen. Blooms are perfectly formed 
and above average in size, with 50 to 60 neatly placed petals. 
Good stems hold the flowers, which do not fade or turn blue as 
they open but hold their rich red color. Delicately perfumed. 
A vigorous, tall, upright bush with rich green, leathery leaves. 
A plant to be relied on for steady, continuing bloom throughout 
the growing season. Hardy and healthy. A perfect cut flower. 
$3.50 ea.—3 or more, $3.20 ea. 

“At the 1972 National Convention of the MGCA in Tucson, Arizona, 
I was awarded two blue ribbons—one for Peace and one for Christian 
Dior, both of which were grown from bushes purchased from your 
nursery.”
